Brief Program Description
Our students’ mental health significantly impacts their school attendance, academic performance, socialemotional development, and school safety. This workshop provides the tools for establishing and developing expertise in these “Sherlock Holmes Skills” by providing participants exposure to the key symptoms, causes, and interventions for common mental health concerns in school-age youth including depression, anxiety disorders, trauma and stress-related disorders, oppositional disorder, conduct disorder, and attention disorders. Participants will also receive a workbook of course materials and a matrix outlining the background, causes, symptoms, and foundational interventions for each mental health concern.
